EVERYONE IS A LORD: MY TALENT IS A LITTLE TOO STRONG

Chapter 945: Chapter 594: The True Face of the Strange Footsteps_2

With a slight twitch of his mouth, this time, Leo Ray, surrounded by his subordinates, significantly increased his pace.

However, as if silently responding to Leo Ray, the group, whose speed had obviously increased, had only started walking a short while ago.

Clatter, clatter, clatter…

The rustling footsteps sounded for the third time in front of Leo Ray.

Stopping to listen carefully, the familiar footsteps, whether from the frequency of the pace or from the deliberately subdued and somewhat chaotic sound, were indeed identical to the previous two times.

“Well, it really came again.”

Helplessly shaking his head, this time, Leo Ray listened to the approaching footsteps while showing a thoughtful expression.

Although he didn’t know the true appearance of the one deliberately suppressing their footsteps, through the strange encounters with the other party three times, he could completely confirm it.

This seemingly straight path, leading continuously underground, was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface.

“Could it be that this place has many teleportation arrays like the Winged Race’s barrier, which can unknowingly teleport my team to other parts of the passage?”

“But even if the teleportation array is hidden, causing my team to be teleported involuntarily, there must be abnormal energy fluctuations around the teleportation array, and besides, I’ve never felt the sensation of landing lightly after teleportation…”

At this point, Leo Ray paused and suddenly understood.

“Could it be that it’s not us who are being teleported, but the other party? That would explain why the other party can appear in front of me three times in this straight passage.”

Having come up with what seemed to be a reasonable explanation, Leo Ray shook his head again.

“No, the path the other party took each time they left was the one I had already taken. If this is true, then the hidden teleportation array must be set somewhere on my path.”

“In other words, if the hidden teleportation array exists, the other party must know its exact location.”

“But why would the other party repeatedly use the hidden teleportation array to return to their previous path and encounter us? This is obviously illogical.”

As Leo Ray struggled to find an explanation,

the increasingly clear footsteps had already come close to them.

“After encountering them three times, I can’t help but feel all the more that these slightly chaotic footsteps seem familiar?”

Just as Leo Ray thought about this unexpectedly,

those familiar footsteps stopped at the opposite side of the group of people, as expected.

“This baffling situation clearly leads to a dead end if considered from a normal perspective… It seems that I need to find a new entry point.”

“I have a feeling that the current clues are actually enough to guide me towards the truth of the matter. As long as I find the entry point, all the doubts should gradually be resolved.”

At this point, Leo Ray’s gaze shifted to the dark green wall opposite him. Though it seemed empty, there was no doubt that the answer to the problem was hidden within.

At this moment, an anomaly occurred.

Accompanied by the sound of the other party’s footsteps, again.

This time, the other party’s pace had clearly quickened significantly.

In just the blink of an eye, they had swiftly disappeared behind the group.

“The first time, there was no pause in the other party’s footsteps.”

“The second time, the other party’s footsteps paused, but the pace before and after the pause didn’t change.”

“The third time, the other party’s footsteps paused again, but after starting again, the pace was noticeably faster, and the familiar feeling was even stronger…”At this thought, Leo Ray paused, and the puzzled expression on his face was instantly replaced with an enlightened one.

He took a deep breath and then spoke to his subordinates, “Alright, there’s no need for silence now. I’ve figured out the true nature of those strange footsteps.”

“But Lord, if we talk like this, will the other party notice us?”

Hearing this, Bianca White’s fluffy ears twitched, and she couldn’t help but whisper.

“Don’t worry, even if they notice us, it doesn’t matter, because their true identity is none other than ourselves.”

Leo Ray nodded at the Snow Wolf Clan female and replied with a light smile.

“The other party’s true identity is… us?!”

Upon hearing this unbelievable answer, all the subordinates exchanged glances.

Then, one by one, their faces began to show a sudden comprehension, and it was clear that they had all caught on.

Only Scarlett and Bianca White were still clueless, blinking their large eyes, staring at Leo Ray in confusion.

Looking at the reflection of the two’s wide, mysterious green eyes on the cave wall, Leo Ray couldn’t help but smile and ask, “Do you two remember the other party’s movements each time?”

“Yes, the first time we encountered them, they didn’t stop and just walked by.”

Scarlett nodded in confusion, her large eyes rolling slightly, obviously recalling, “But the second time, they suddenly stopped in front of us.”

“You’re right, during the second encounter, they stopped but didn’t seem to have noticed us, making it difficult to figure them out.”

At the side, Bianca White tilted her head and added her comment.

“During the second encounter, the reason the other party stopped was because we had stopped during the first encounter.”

Leo Ray maintained his smile and patiently explained, “The reason they didn’t stop the first time is very simple. It’s because we hadn’t encountered them yet, so naturally, we wouldn’t stop.”

Pausing for a moment, he continued, “In other words, the first time we encountered them, we met the version of ourselves that hadn’t encountered the other party yet. And during the second encounter, we met the version of ourselves from the first encounter.”

“My Lord, I think I understand.”

Pouting slightly, Scarlett furrowed her brows and reflected, “So during the third encounter, they stopped and then sped up because we had sped up after the second encounter?”

“So that’s it! The other party has been repeating our previous actions!”

Upon hearing this, Bianca White’s fluffy tail flicked, and she exclaimed with sudden comprehension, “So, the other party is actually our mirror image?!”

“That’s right, this tunnel seems to possess some sort of mysterious power to create mirror images.”

With a snap of his fingers, Leo Ray confirmed, “That also explains why we can’t detect any energy fluctuations, scent, or smell, nor see them.”

“It’s because we are already hidden under the Invisibility Cloak, so even if a mirror image is produced, all it can imitate is our footsteps.”

Having said that, Leo Ray’s dark eyes shifted and looked at the twin sisters Serena and Stella. “Serena and Stella, can you come to the same conclusion based on the footsteps alone?”

“My Lord, during the second encounter, I distinguished the exact number of footsteps but found there were two less than our group.”

Bowing slightly, Serena blushed and said somewhat sheepishly, “At the time, I didn’t realize that we were the ones causing the footsteps since the numbers didn’t match.”

“Because the two of us have undergone rigorous stealth training, our footsteps are almost negligible, hence only hearing the footsteps of two less people.”

Stella added, her delicate voice shy, “It’s all thanks to my Lord’s reminder that it finally dawned on us.”

“Very well.”

Nodding to his subordinates, Leo Ray immediately said, “Alright, all of this is just our speculation. Let’s test it out.”
